Forums - Sales Discussion - Global HW UP! USA SW UP! 28th September 2013

PS3 numbers are still pretty amazing. What happened in Europe? FIFA still causes that kind of hardware boost?



Around the Network

Everybody down in hardware sales in USA, unless Wii and Wii U :)



Yoshi's the best of the beasts

I don't really know what Nintendo can do now. It's like they specifically chose the date for the Pricedrop/Zelda bundle to clash with GTA in an attempt screw themselves over. I think they really could have picked at better time for it. I mean it's a great deal, the console comes down in price by $50 and you get WW for free, but they did it right in the middle of GTA fever? Really?

Well you can't ask for better numbers for Wii U... nowadays some Wii U's owner are happy with a 40 WW a week. Even if it's very low.


Mre wii u fans thought the wii u would sell over 60k in us alone last week and increase even more this week putting world wide figures at closer to 80k for the week. So yeah, it was asked to do better. 


What the the hell are you talking about? No on said it would sell over 60k, at least no one rational. If you're gonna crap on the system at least do it without being as dumb as them.

Well, if they waited a couple of weeks, it would be in the middle of Pokemon fever.  Then if they waited longer, it would be in the middle of battlefield fever.  Longer than that, Call of Duty fever.

The person who is going to be interested in the Wii U is likely going to be different from the person who's interested in GTA, so it's not too big of a deal.  I think the amount the sales increased by is pretty much what should have been expected, so it worked out well.  



Go Vita! Go WiiU!



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I wonder how many GTA will add over the holidays. Also PS3 has pushed its lead to over 1m on 360 and gained another 180k on Wii this week. It's coming.

WiiU almost matches 3DS in NA. Kind of hard to believe tbh. European number is shocking.

The ps3 is outselling the wii U by what ratio so far? did you update your thread?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
